Patterns for organizing your AWS accounts

This section introduces a series of example AWS account structures based on the principles and best practices contained in this document.

It’s common for customers to start with a basic structure and incrementally expand it as their needs evolve and their experience with AWS grows. Accordingly, the examples start simple and progressively grow to represent this typical evolution.

More detailed descriptions of the OUs represented in these examples are addressed in Recommended OUs and accounts and Organizing workload-oriented OUs.
